Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 3]
Scott Yanow of AllMusic called it an "underrated set ...well worth searching for".[ 3] Soaring , a 10-cut musical haiku, all of his interests were converging into a style that was bold, intensely rhythmic and perfectly calibrated sound for the big screen. (It should be no surprise he was scoring The French Connection [ 4]
